FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1957-1958 II Academic Prizegiving IJUNE, 'l957l The Annual Academic Prizegiving of the School was held in the Moyse Hall of McGill University on the evening of Wednesday, June l2th. Mr. Gordon MacDougall, chairman of the Board of Governors, presided and the special choir under the direction of Mr, Phillips, rendered the Lords Prayer and ln Derry Vale most acceptably. In his Headmasters Report Mr. Speirs paid tribute to the large array of scholarship winners and to the staff for the notable academic distinctions of the year. He bade a reluctant farewell to Madame Gyger, Mr. Howes and Mr. Cooke, expressing the school's thanks for their splendid services and best wishes for the future. In closing, Mr. Speirs voiced his gratitude to a vigorous and energetic Board of Governors, and especially its chairman, Mr. MacDougall, now concluding a three-year spell of leadership, and added: We are a closely knit family in Selwyn House. Many of you parents and governors are Old Boys of the School or closely related to Old Boys, and all of us share common ideals and dreams and ambitions for our children. We are all bound together in a common enterprise to lay a sound and solid foundation for their future, and in a day when the ancient ramparts of the human spirit- its loyalties and its faith-are being undermined by insidious forces of disintegration from within and assaulted by a crude and savage materialism from without, and a cacophony of voices is clamouring for possession of man's soul, now more than ever do we need to think of those profound simplicities that were a rock beneath the feet of Paul of Tarsus-the things of life that are iust and pure, true and honest, lovely and of good report. These above all we wish for our children-our age ignores them at its peril, for without them education is mere vanity, and turns to dust and ashes in our hands. Guest of Honour at the prizegiving exercises was Senator the Honourable A. Knatch- bull'Hugessen, QC. In his speech to the boys, he urged each one to start a library of good books that would become lasting friends and bring countless hours of pleasure in the years ahead. The prizes I won at Eton, he said, have been a constant source of knowledge to me, and I still read them with unmixed delight.
